Ezekiel 32
1 And it came to pass in the twelfth year, in the twelfth month, in the first day of the month, that the word of Yhwh came unto me, saying,
Katika mwaka wa kumi na mbili, mwezi wa kumi na mbili, siku ya kwanza ya mwezi, neno la Bwana likanijia, kusema:
2 Son of man, take up a lamentation for Pharaoh king of Egypt, and say unto him, Thou art like a young lion of the nations, and thou art as a whale in the seas: and thou camest forth with thy rivers, and troubledst the waters with thy feet, and fouledst their rivers.
“Mwanadamu, fanya maombolezo kwa ajili ya Farao mfalme wa Misri na umwambie: “‘Wewe ni kama simba miongoni mwa mataifa, wewe ni kama joka kubwa baharini, unayevuruga maji kwa miguu yako na kuchafua vijito.
3 Thus saith the Lord Yhwh; I will therefore spread out my net over thee with a company of many people; and they shall bring thee up in my net.
“‘Hili ndilo Bwana Mwenyezi asemalo: “‘Nikiwa pamoja na wingi mkubwa wa watu nitautupa wavu wangu juu yako, nao watakukokota katika wavu wangu.
4 Then will I leave thee upon the land, I will cast thee forth upon the open field, and will cause all the fowls of the heaven to remain upon thee, and I will fill the beasts of the whole earth with thee.
Nitakutupa nchi kavu na kukuvurumisha uwanjani. Nitawafanya ndege wote wa angani watue juu yako na wanyama wote wa nchi watajishibisha nyama yako.
5 And I will lay thy flesh upon the mountains, and fill the valleys with thy height.
Nitatawanya nyama yako juu ya milima na kujaza mabonde kwa mabaki yako.
6 I will also water with thy blood the land wherein thou swimmest, even to the mountains; and the rivers shall be full of thee.
Nitailowanisha nchi kwa damu yako inayotiririka njia yote hadi milimani, nayo mabonde yatajazwa na nyama yako.
7 And when I shall put thee out, I will cover the heaven, and make the stars thereof dark; I will cover the sun with a cloud, and the moon shall not give her light.
Nitakapokuzimisha, nitafunika mbingu na kuzitia nyota zake giza; nitalifunika jua kwa wingu, nao mwezi hautatoa nuru yake.
8 All the bright lights of heaven will I make dark over thee, and set darkness upon thy land, saith the Lord Yhwh.
Mianga yote itoayo nuru angani nitaitia giza juu yako; nitaleta giza juu ya nchi yako, asema Bwana Mwenyezi.
9 I will also vex the hearts of many people, when I shall bring thy destruction among the nations, into the countries which thou hast not known.
Nitaifadhaisha mioyo ya mataifa mengi nitakapokuangamiza miongoni mwa mataifa, nikikuleta uhamishoni miongoni mwa nchi ambazo haujapata kuzijua.
10 Yea, I will make many people amazed at thee, and their kings shall be horribly afraid for thee, when I shall brandish my sword before them; and they shall tremble at every moment, every man for his own life, in the day of thy fall.
Nitayafanya mataifa mengi wakustaajabie, wafalme wao watatetemeka kwa hofu kwa ajili yako nitakapotikisa upanga wangu mbele yao. Siku ya anguko lako kila mmoja wao atatetemeka kila dakika kwa ajili ya maisha yake.
11 For thus saith the Lord Yhwh; The sword of the king of Babylon shall come upon thee.
“‘Kwa kuwa hili ndilo Bwana Mwenyezi asemalo: “‘Upanga wa mfalme wa Babeli utakuja dhidi yako.
12 By the swords of the mighty will I cause thy multitude to fall, the terrible of the nations, all of them: and they shall spoil the pomp of Egypt, and all the multitude thereof shall be destroyed.
Nitafanya makundi yako ya wajeuri kuanguka kwa panga za watu mashujaa, taifa katili kuliko mataifa yote. Watakivunjavunja kiburi cha Misri, nayo makundi yake yote ya wajeuri yatashindwa.
13 I will destroy also all the beasts thereof from beside the great waters; neither shall the foot of man trouble them any more, nor the hoofs of beasts trouble them.
Nitaangamiza mifugo yake yote wanaojilisha kando ya maji mengi, hayatavurugwa tena kwa mguu wa mwanadamu wala kwato za mnyama hazitayachafua tena.
14 Then will I make their waters deep, and cause their rivers to run like oil, saith the Lord Yhwh.
Kisha nitafanya maji yake yatulie na kufanya vijito vyake vitiririke kama mafuta, asema Bwana Mwenyezi.
15 When I shall make the land of Egypt desolate, and the country shall be destitute of that whereof it was full, when I shall smite all them that dwell therein, then shall they know that I am Yhwh.
Nitakapoifanya Misri kuwa ukiwa na kuiondolea nchi kila kitu kilichomo ndani yake, nitakapowapiga wote waishio humo, ndipo watakapojua kuwa Mimi ndimi Bwana.’
16 This is the lamentation wherewith they shall lament her: the daughters of the nations shall lament her: they shall lament for her, even for Egypt, and for all her multitude, saith the Lord Yhwh.
“Hili ndilo ombolezo watakalomwimbia. Binti za mataifa wataliimba, kwa kuwa Misri na makundi yake yote ya wajeuri wataliimba, asema Bwana Mwenyezi.”
17 It came to pass also in the twelfth year, in the fifteenth day of the month, that the word of Yhwh came unto me, saying,
Katika mwaka wa kumi na mbili, mwezi wa kwanza, siku ya kumi na tano ya mwezi, neno la Bwana likanijia kusema:
18 Son of man, wail for the multitude of Egypt, and cast them down, even her, and the daughters of the famous nations, unto the nether parts of the earth, with them that go down into the pit.
“Mwanadamu, omboleza kwa ajili ya makundi ya wajeuri wa Misri na uwatupe kuzimu yeye na binti za mataifa yenye nguvu, waende huko pamoja nao washukao shimoni. (questioned)
19 Whom dost thou pass in beauty? go down, and be thou laid with the uncircumcised.
Je, ninyi mnamzidi nani kwa uzuri? Shukeni chini! Nanyi mkalazwe pamoja na hao wasiotahiriwa!
20 They shall fall in the midst of them that are slain by the sword: she is delivered to the sword: draw her and all her multitudes.
Wataanguka miongoni mwa wale waliouawa kwa upanga. Upanga umefutwa, mwache aburutwe mbali pamoja na hao wajeuri wake wote.
21 The strong among the mighty shall speak to him out of the midst of hell with them that help him: they are gone down, they lie uncircumcised, slain by the sword. (Sheol h7585)
Kutoka kuzimu viongozi hodari watanena kuhusu Misri pamoja na wale walioungana nao, ‘Wameshuka chini, nao wamelala kimya pamoja na hao wasiotahiriwa, pamoja na wale waliouawa kwa upanga.’ (Sheol h7585)
22 Asshur is there and all her company: his graves are about him: all of them slain, fallen by the sword:
“Ashuru yuko huko pamoja na jeshi lake lote, amezungukwa na makaburi ya watu wake wote waliouawa, wale wote walioanguka kwa upanga.
23 Whose graves are set in the sides of the pit, and her company is round about her grave: all of them slain, fallen by the sword, which caused terror in the land of the living.
Makaburi yao yako kwenye kina cha chini cha shimo na jeshi lake limelala kulizunguka kaburi lake. Wote waliokuwa wameeneza hofu kuu katika nchi ya walio hai wameuawa, wameanguka kwa upanga.
24 There is Elam and all her multitude round about her grave, all of them slain, fallen by the sword, which are gone down uncircumcised into the nether parts of the earth, which caused their terror in the land of the living; yet have they borne their shame with them that go down to the pit.
“Elamu yuko huko, pamoja na makundi yake yote ya wajeuri wakiwa wamelizunguka kaburi lake. Wote wameuawa, wameanguka kwa upanga. Wote waliokuwa wameeneza hofu katika nchi ya walio hai walishuka kuzimu bila kutahiriwa. Wanaichukua aibu yao pamoja na wale washukao shimoni. (questioned)
25 They have set her a bed in the midst of the slain with all her multitude: her graves are round about him: all of them uncircumcised, slain by the sword: though their terror was caused in the land of the living, yet have they borne their shame with them that go down to the pit: he is put in the midst of them that be slain.
Kitanda kimetandikwa kwa ajili yake miongoni mwa waliouawa, pamoja na makundi yake yote ya wajeuri wakiwa wamelizunguka kaburi lake. Wote ni watu wasiotahiriwa, wameuawa kwa upanga. Kwa sababu vitisho vyao vilienea katika nchi ya walio hai, wameichukua aibu yao pamoja na wale washukao shimoni, nao wamewekwa miongoni mwa waliouawa.
26 There is Meshech, Tubal, and all her multitude: her graves are round about him: all of them uncircumcised, slain by the sword, though they caused their terror in the land of the living.
“Mesheki na Tubali wako humo, pamoja na makundi yao ya wajeuri wakiwa wameyazunguka makaburi yao. Wote hawakutahiriwa, wameuawa kwa upanga kwa sababu walieneza vitisho vyao katika nchi ya walio hai.
27 And they shall not lie with the mighty that are fallen of the uncircumcised, which are gone down to hell with their weapons of war: and they have laid their swords under their heads, but their iniquities shall be upon their bones, though they were the terror of the mighty in the land of the living. (Sheol h7585)
Je, hawakulala na mashujaa wengine wasiotahiriwa waliouawa, ambao wameshuka kaburini wakiwa na silaha zao za vita, ambao panga zao ziliwekwa chini ya vichwa vyao na uovu wao juu ya mifupa yao? Adhabu kwa ajili ya dhambi zao ilikuwa juu ya mifupa yao, ingawa vitisho vya mashujaa hawa vilikuwa vimeenea hadi kwenye nchi ya walio hai. (Sheol h7585)
28 Yea, thou shalt be broken in the midst of the uncircumcised, and shalt lie with them that are slain with the sword.
“Wewe pia, ee Farao, utavunjwa nawe utalala miongoni mwa wasiotahiriwa, pamoja na wale waliouawa kwa upanga.
29 There is Edom, her kings, and all her princes, which with their might are laid by them that were slain by the sword: they shall lie with the uncircumcised, and with them that go down to the pit.
“Edomu yuko humo, wafalme wake wote na wakuu wake wote, ambao ijapokuwa wana nguvu, wamelazwa pamoja na wale waliouawa kwa upanga. Wamelala pamoja na wasiotahiriwa, pamoja na wale washukao shimoni.
30 There be the princes of the north, all of them, and all the Sidonians, which are gone down with the slain; with their terror they are ashamed of their might; and they lie uncircumcised with them that be slain by the sword, and bear their shame with them that go down to the pit.
“Wakuu wote wa kaskazini na Wasidoni wote wako huko, wameshuka chini pamoja na waliouawa kwa aibu ijapokuwa kuna vitisho vilivyosababishwa na nguvu zao. Wamelala bila kutahiriwa pamoja na wale waliouawa kwa upanga na kuchukua aibu yao pamoja na wale washukao chini shimoni.
31 Pharaoh shall see them, and shall be comforted over all his multitude, even Pharaoh and all his army slain by the sword, saith the Lord Yhwh.
“Farao, yeye pamoja na jeshi lake lote, atakapowaona atafarijiwa kwa ajili ya makundi yake yote ya wajeuri, wale waliouawa kwa upanga, asema Bwana Mwenyezi.
32 For I have caused my terror in the land of the living: and he shall be laid in the midst of the uncircumcised with them that are slain with the sword, even Pharaoh and all his multitude, saith the Lord Yhwh.
Ingawa nilimfanya Farao aeneze vitisho vyake katika nchi ya walio hai, Farao pamoja na makundi yake yote ya wajeuri watalazwa miongoni mwa wasiotahiriwa, pamoja na wale waliouawa kwa upanga, asema Bwana Mwenyezi.”
